Correct, if you are honoring them for having fought for the South.

If you fought for the Confederacy, you supported the abhorrent practice of holding human beings as property.

There really aren't any reasons that can excuse that.

how many of them actually had a choice whether to fight or not? and for which side? I thought the army came to town and took everyone with them. -- nm - zork Apr 1, 10:33 2
